AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G vs Intel Core 7 251TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a clear overall winner in the Intel Core 7 251TE, which takes 10 of the 11 head-to-head tests. The only benchmark where the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G comes out ahead is extended instructions, where it scores 20,487 compared to Intel's 16,974, a 20.7% advantage. This is a significant margin and indicates that the AMD part handles certain specialized instruction workloads more efficiently.

Everywhere else, the Intel Core 7 251TE holds the lead, and often by a wide margin. The largest gap is in the find prime numbers test, where Intel scores 140 versus AMD's 58, a 58.6% difference. That is a massive swing and points to a substantial advantage in integer-heavy, latency-sensitive tasks.

The floating point math test also shows a decisive Intel win: 85,607 versus 50,778, which is a 40.7% gap. The physics test follows a similar pattern, with Intel at 1,938 and AMD at 1,022, a 47.3% difference. These are not marginal wins; they are the kind of margins that change workload completion times.

In integer math, Intel scores 125,739 against AMD's 90,270, a 28.2% lead. The multithread test shows Intel at 30,022 versus AMD's 23,858, a 20.5% advantage. Data compression goes to Intel at 334,399 against 295,730, an 11.6% lead. Data encryption also favors Intel, 22,176 versus 19,450, a 12.3% gap. Random string sorting sees Intel at 39,643 against AMD's 32,771, a 17.3% difference.

The single-thread test is the closest contest. Intel scores 3,568, AMD scores 3,366, and the delta is only 5.7%. That is a modest but real lead for Intel in single-core performance, which matters for lightly threaded applications and everyday responsiveness.

Looking at the overall average benchmark scores, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G posts 49,196, while the Intel Core 7 251TE posts 41,650. This is an interesting inversion: the AMD part has a higher average score across its full benchmark suite, but the Intel part wins nearly every head-to-head test. The explanation is in the benchmark sets. The AMD average includes a broader spread of results, while the head-to-head tests are a specific subset where Intel is consistently stronger.

The data also shows that the AMD part sits in the 90th percentile of all CPUs, while the Intel part sits in the 88th percentile. Both are strong performers, but the AMD chip ranks slightly higher overall in the database's full CPU population.

The Verdict

The benchmark results indicate that the Intel Core 7 251TE is the stronger processor for most compute-heavy tasks. Its wins in multithread, floating point, integer math, physics, and prime number finding are all by double-digit margins, and in some cases by more than 40%. Anyone running workloads that rely on those operations, such as scientific computing, rendering, or data processing, should favor the Intel part based on this data.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G is not without merit. Its 20.7% lead in extended instructions means that specific workloads using those instructions will perform noticeably better on the AMD chip. It also posts a higher average benchmark score and a higher percentile rank, which suggests that its overall capabilities across a wider range of tests are competitive.

The Intel part does have a higher single-thread score, but only by 5.7%. That is not a dominant margin, so for purely single-threaded tasks, the choice is less clear-cut. The Intel part also has a much higher boost clock at 5.40 GHz versus 4.60 GHz, and a lower base clock at 1.40 GHz versus 3.80 GHz, which reflects a different design philosophy.

For users who need maximum throughput in parallel workloads, the Intel Core 7 251TE is the pick from the data. For users who need specific extended instruction performance or who value the higher average score, the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G remains a viable option.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different design lineages. The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G uses the Zen 3 architecture, codenamed Cezanne, built on a 7 nm process from TSMC. It has 8 cores and 16 threads, with a base clock of 3.80 GHz and a boost clock of 4.60 GHz. The Intel Core 7 251TE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, built on a 10 nm process from Intel, and has 24 cores and 32 threads, with a base clock of 1.40 GHz and a boost clock of 5.40 GHz.

The core counts are drastically different. Intel has three times as many cores and double the threads. That explains its dominance in multithreaded benchmarks. The AMD part has a much higher base clock, which helps in scenarios where sustained frequency matters, but the Intel part has a higher boost clock.

Cache configurations also differ. The AMD part has 64 KB of L1 per core, 512 KB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Intel part has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 36 MB of shared L3. Intel has more cache at every level, which contributes to its performance in cache-sensitive workloads.

Memory support differs as well. The AMD part supports DDR4 only, with a dual-channel bus and a memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s. The Intel part supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, but with a memory bandwidth of 89.6 GB/s. That is a 75% higher bandwidth figure, which helps in memory-bound tasks.

The Intel part also supports ECC memory, while the AMD part does not. That is a meaningful difference for users who require error-correcting memory in their systems.

PCIe support varies: the AMD part uses Gen 3 with 16 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel part uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU. Gen 5 offers substantially higher bandwidth for compatible devices.

The integrated graphics also differ. AMD uses Radeon Vega 8, while Intel uses UHD Graphics 770. The AMD part has a die size of 180 mm² and 10,700 million transistors. The Intel part has a die size of 215 mm², and the database does not list a transistor count for it.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 7 251TE dominates in virtually every measured category. Its 24 cores and 32 threads give it a massive advantage in multithreaded workloads, confirmed by the multithread test where it leads by 20.5%. The floating point math and physics results, with leads of 40.7% and 47.3% respectively, indicate that compute-heavy scientific and simulation workloads will finish significantly faster on the Intel part.

The prime number test result, where Intel leads by 58.6%, points to a strong showing in integer-heavy, latency-sensitive tasks. Data compression and encryption, both of which benefit from more cores and higher cache, also favor Intel, with leads of 11.6% and 12.3%. Random string sorting, which is often memory-bandwidth limited, goes to Intel by 17.3%, consistent with its higher memory bandwidth figure.

The AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5755G wins only in extended instructions, with a 20.7% lead. This suggests that workloads utilizing those specific instructions, such as certain cryptographic or media-processing routines, will run more efficiently on the AMD part. Its higher base clock of 3.80 GHz versus 1.40 GHz may also provide an advantage in scenarios where sustained all-core frequency at low thread counts matters, though the benchmark data does not separate that effect.

The AMD part also has a higher average benchmark score of 49,196 versus Intel's 41,650, and a higher percentile rank of 90 versus 88. This indicates that across the full suite of recorded tests, the AMD chip is more consistently strong, even though the Intel chip wins the head-to-head subset.
